You're missing the point here. The point here is that the whole power issue with the charger and battery is a pretty big problem with this device and no one seems to be coming forward with acknowledging that it is a serious issue for many people and that there seems to be some sort of fix or upgrade coming down the pike. For some it is cables, others it is battery draining and shutting down and losing hours of work compiling because the unit craps out while being plugged in. The only thing that comes forward is other community members like yourself who just come back with the tired line of "What did you expect for $200?"
You can throw around all your excuses that it's a $200 laptop all you like and feel justified that somehow you were better equipped to be mentally prepared for any caveats that exist and chastise those that bring a legitimate criticism to the forefront but the issue is still there and could use fixing.
I love my pinebook pro and have also dealt with these power issues. It is my daily driver but guess what... The unit still remains gimped.
